# CLIP (Cloud Infrastructure Platform)

> CLIP gives researchers at all institutes of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) and at IMP shared high-performance computing for batch, interactive, and grid workloads.

This site describes CLIP's services and how to get access. Step-by-step technical instructions live on docs.vbc.ac.at. Each page below is also available as Markdown by replacing the trailing slash with `.md` (for example, `/access.md`).
